This is a literal trap for vulnerable people and a dream scenario for would-be rapist/abusers/criminals.No adequate sightlines (due to curvature and grade separation), insufficient lighting and no escape opportunities well outside the tunnel boundaries. Designed by men, for men.

[Finch West LRT @FinchWestLRT]

The new Multi-Use Pathway (MUP) on Finch Ave. W. between Norfinch Dr. and Signet Dr. is now open to the public! The MUP offers pedestrians a safe way to avoid busy motor traffic in the area.

@BradMBradford So Brad's plan is to govern based on...vibes? Every real Torontonian has seen him throw tantrums during council meetings because he said only statistics should be used to craft policy. Crazy world when you have Kinesella and Kouvalis pulling the strings on your campaign.

@tommydoubleu @JeffBallingall @JeffBallingall is upset that Polkaroo has been gatekeeping worlds of fun and pure imagination from him for the better part of 50 years and this is Jeff’s way of getting back at the creature he believes is nothing more than a menacing provincial bureaucrat

@CBCNS The ugly side of austerity and neoliberalism

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

@TheSpec Police are nothing but a bloated, cancerous drain on society and most definitely on the taxpayers. They’re useless and should be de-tasked immediately

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

@MikeKapp6 @PaulsEsther @HamiltonFireDep @CameronKroetsch Hamiltonians are also thankful you left our city too. Anyway I remember cameron saying he wanted to defund police, not fire & paramedics. You must have bought into that copaganda bullshit where they made you think they actually help the community rather than terrorize it

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

@FrancesNunziata is right. Suburbs really are trash baskets and nobody deserves to live in her ward knowing she’s asleep at the wheel, giving private contractors carte blanche to abdicate their responsibilities #TOpoli

[Ben Spurr @BenSpurr]

"There's also a lot of litter in the suburbs," not just downtown, Coun. Nunziata chimes in. Trash city.

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

Sure,infrastructure is crumbling and essential services have been destroyed beyond recognition but at least this guy gets to tell his buddies (85% of whom are too scared to live in the city they attack on the daily) that he’ll have another $1.2B to line their pockets with #TOpoli

[Chief Myron Demkiw @TPSMyronDemkiw]

Thank you @TPSBoard for approving our budget request. Our budget is informed by the public’s priorities including public safety & rebuilding trust. We are focused on core services & emergency response times, accelerating reform, and providing support to our members.

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

For anything to be done anymore in @JohnTory’s TO,citizens must now explain whether or not there is a direct benefit to @TorontoPolice.No benefit?Then you can guarantee your pleas will be rejected by Tory & @TPSMyronDemkiw.Purse strings here controlled by cops,not people #TOpoli

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

In @cityoftoronto, @TorontosMayor gives the @TorontoPolice $1.5B every year, including tens of millions of $$$ increases to their budget while every other city service starves to death, then demands that the public do the work for them #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

[Toronto Police @TorontoPolice]

January is #CrimeStoppersMonth and Stand Up, Stand Together this year to keep our communities safe with @1800222TIPS. 2022 was another record-setting year thanks to your anonymous tips:
✅6,000+ tips
✅200 arrests
✅800 charges laid
✅89 firearms seized
✅7 homicides solved

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

@TPSOperations @CopWhoLovesCars Once saw Alex blame a mom & her child for getting crushed by the driver of an F-150 who ran a red light then jumped the curb. Mom is now disabled and child ended up with a scull fracture. Can’t wait for Alex to make his own fake disability claim like 40% of the TPS cops do.

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

If @fordnation cared about @TorontoPolice he’d step up and use provincial tax dollars to fully fund the extra $50m @TorontosMayor is demanding for cop salaries (in addition to everything else Tory wants) so TO prop owners don’t have to pay more in property taxes #TOpoli #onpoli

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

Seems like the only folks who aren’t having a challenging year (like ever) are the @TorontoPolice . Keeping the troughs full and the cops well-fed (85% of whom don’t actually live in Toronto) while real Torontonians suffer and starve is an @TorontosMayor hallmark. #TOpoli #ONpoli

[John Tory @JohnTory]

Investing in our transit system is a key focus of mine this term.

While this is a challenging year for the city, we are steadfast in our commitment to keep transit safe, improve service, and support seniors and low-income residents who rely on transit to navigate the city.

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

@justwokeup2life @nationalpost @fpcomment Lol real Canadians tried investing in healthcare, education, housing and transit but Conservatives decided to hand the money over to cops and politicians who do nothing instead 🤣. Look in the mirror and you’ll find the exact person you have to blame for all your whataboutism 😘

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

@BenSpurr How very…colonial.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

Neither @TorontosMayor nor @MarkShapiro will face consequences for unethical behaviour b/c the system allows for these men to roam freely of any repercussions.They got what they wanted at the expense of citizens and have no remorse whatsoever in doing so #TOpoli #ActiveTO #BikeTO

[Ben Spurr @BenSpurr]

Here's a link to the integrity commissioner's report. Among other findings, it says that the now infamous letter from Blue Jays CEO Mark Shapiro opposing ActiveTO was ghost-written by former councillor Mark Grimes https://t.co/JWlAeqpiyr

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

@jamesramertps @TorontoPolice Good riddance. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. The only regret this city should have is paying you millions of dollars for a career spent targeting marginalized and vulnerable communities. If it was up to us, you wouldn’t see a penny of pension.

[Brandon @TheReggieJay]

Even more distubed by the politician that can’t (or won’t?) differentiate between a religion (that absolutely should have space and safety) and an autocratic state regime hellbent on genocidal domination of an entire people

[James Pasternak @PasternakTO]

Deeply disturbed by another incident of harassment of the Toronto Jewish community by the anti-Israel mob at Yeshiva Or Chaim and synagogue on Saturday night. 1/2
